possible 2nd US round of Moto GP


Barber is actually not a track for the high horsepower bikes like the MotoGP bikes. The AMA guys are actually too fast for Barber and have recently complained about it. I guess there is nowhere for the big bikes to stretch their legs and run.

The closest thing we have in the US to a true MotoGP type track I would think is Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. From what I have heard it was designed with the faster higher horsepower bikes in mind.

Another good track for those bikes would be Road America in Wisconsin. I am pretty sure it would take a lot of changes etc. to make it happen but it is definitely a more european style track. I believe a single lap is somewhere around 4 miles.
